- the electroluminescent device generally includes a base substrate, and a thin film transistor (TFT for short) layer, an anode layer, a pixel definition layer (PDL for short), a light-emitting layer and a cathode layer which are sequentially disposed on the base substrate;
- the TFT layer includes a plurality of TFTs;
- the anode layer includes a plurality of anode structures;
- the light-emitting layer includes a plurality of light-emitting structures; and the TFTs, the anode structures and the light-emitting structures correspond to each other in a one-to-one manner.
- the pixel definition layer includes a plurality of barrier wall structures, the plurality of barrier wall structures define a plurality of pixel regions arranged in an array, the plurality of pixel regions include pixel regions arranged along a first direction and pixel regions arranged along a second direction, a distance between any adjacent two pixel regions among the pixel regions arranged along the first direction is not equal to a distance between any adjacent two pixel regions among the pixel regions arranged along the second direction, and each pixel region is provided with one light-emitting structure therein.
- a wet film forming process is generally used to form the light-emitting layer.
- a solution is filled in the pixel regions by a solution-applying process, and then a solvent in the pixel regions is removed by a depressurization drying process, so that a solute in the pixel regions forms the light-emitting structures, and thus the light-emitting layer is formed.
- the distance between any adjacent two pixel regions among the pixel regions arranged along the first direction is not equal to the distance between any adjacent two pixel regions among the pixel regions arranged along the second direction
- a micro-force that the solution in the pixel regions is subjected to in the first direction is different from another micro-force that the solution is subjected to in the second direction during the drying of the solution in the pixel regions, which results in the distribution of the solute in the first direction is different from the distribution of the solute in the second direction;
- the light-emitting structures formed are also of the rectangular-like shape, so that the thickness uniformity of the light-emitting structure in a long-axis direction (a direction parallel to a long side of the light-emitting structure) and the thickness uniformity of the light-emitting structure in a short-axis direction (a direction parallel to a short side of the light-emitting structure) are difficult to achieve an optimum state simultaneously, and the
- the electroluminescent device generally includes the base substrate, and the thin film transistor (TFT) layer, the anode layer, the pixel definition layer (PDL), the light-emitting layer and the cathode layer which are sequentially disposed on the base substrate.
- the TFT layer includes the plurality of TFTs
- the anode layer includes the plurality of anode structures
- the light-emitting layer includes the plurality of light-emitting structures
- the TFTs, the anode structures and the light-emitting structures correspond to each other in a one-to-one manner.
- the pixel definition layer includes the plurality of barrier wall structures, the plurality of barrier wall structures define the plurality of pixel regions arranged in an array, the plurality of pixel regions includes the pixel regions arranged along the first direction and the pixel regions arranged along the second direction, the distance between any adjacent two pixel regions among the pixel regions arranged along the first direction is not equal to the distance between any adjacent two adjacent pixel regions among the pixel regions arranged in the second direction, and one light-emitting structure is disposed in each pixel region.
- the light-emitting layer is generally formed by using the wet film forming process.
- the solution is also called ink, and generally a mixture which includes a solute and a solvent and is used in the solution-applying process is referred to as the ink
- the solution in the pixel regions is subjected to a drying process by using the depressurization drying process, so that the solvent in the solution is removed, and the solute is dried to form the light-emitting structures, thereby forming the light-emitting layer.
- the shape of the light-emitting structure is generally rectangular-like, and the light-emitting structure includes the long-axis and the short-axis which are perpendicular to each other, for example; the dimension of the light-emitting structure along the long-axis direction is the length of the light-emitting structure, and the dimension of the light-emitting structure along the short-axis direction is the width of the light-emitting structure.
- the depressurization drying process easily affects the solute distribution in the solution, resulting in poor uniformity of the formed light-emitting structure, and ultimately affecting the display effect and service life of the electroluminescent device.
- the volume of the solution reduces as the solvent evaporates, but the interface position at which the solution initially contacts the PDL remains unchanged; therefore, the PDL produces a pinning effect which causes a climbing phenomenon at the edge of the formed light-emitting structure. For example, as shown in FIG.
- the light-emitting structure has a theoretical width a 0 and a theoretical length b 0 ; and for the actually formed light-emitting structure, an actual width of a relatively flat region is a 1 , and an actual length of the relatively flat region is b 1 . It is desirable that the actual width a 1 of the relatively flat region of the light-emitting structure is equal to the theoretical width a 0 as much as possible and the actual length b 1 of the relatively flat region of the light-emitting structure is equal to the theoretical length b 0 as much as possible, that is, it is desirable that the film thicknesses of the light-emitting structures in respective regions are equal.
- the light-emitting structure often has an appearance in the long-axis direction different from an appearance in the short-axis direction.
- the surface of the light-emitting structure is convex (in the “W” shape), concave (in the “U” or “V” shape), in the “M” shape, or the like.
- the ratio of the flat portion in the long-axis direction of the light-emitting structure and the ratio of the flat portion in the short-axis direction are not the same. That is, under the same decompression drying condition, the value of a 1 /a 0 differs greatly from the value of b 1 /b 0 . It is often possible to achieve a good flatness in the short-axis direction of the light-emitting structure under a certain decompression drying condition, but the flatness in the long-axis direction is often poor.
- the main reason of causing this problem is that: during the depressurization drying process, the micro-force suffered by the solvent and/or solute in the long-axis direction of the pixel region is different from the micro-force suffered by the solvent and/or solute in the short-axis direction of the pixel region, causing the solute distribution to be nonuniform.
- a solution is formed on the barrier wall structures which are between the pixel regions; during a drying process of a solution in the pixel regions, the presence of the solution on the barrier wall structures makes a micro-force in the first direction and another micro-force in the second direction that the solution in the pixel regions is subjected to tend to be the same, so that the distribution of the solute in the first direction and the distribution of the solute in the second direction tend to be the same, thus eliminating the phenomenon of poor thickness uniformity of the light-emitting structure caused by the nonuniform distribution of the solute, and finally improving the uniformity of the light-emitting layer.

- a layer of hydrophobic transparent resin material is formed on the base substrate by coating, magnetron sputtering, thermal evaporation or plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) or the like, to obtain a resin material layer; then the resin material layer is patterned by a patterning process to obtain the pixel definition layer 011 .
- the patterning process for example includes photoresist coating, exposure, development, etching, and photoresist stripping.
- Performing the patterning process on the resin material layer to obtain the pixel definition layer 011 includes: forming a photoresist layer by coating a layer of a photoresist with a certain thickness on the resin material layer; exposing the photoresist layer with a mask so that the photoresist layer forms a fully exposed region and a non-exposed region; then performing a developing process on the photoresist layer so that the photoresist in the fully exposed region is removed and the photoresist in the non-exposed region is retained; then etching a region of the resin material layer corresponding to the fully exposed region by using an etching process to form the pixel regions in the resin material layer; and finally stripping off the photoresist in the non-exposed region to obtain the pixel definition layer 011 as shown in FIG. 3 .

- the volume of the solution on any one of the first barrier wall structures 0111 of the pixel definition layer 011 ranges from 10 picoliters to 100 picoliters.
